Pro-tools help

Yeah, I would buy Pro Tools M-Powered and read the Pro Tools manual or do online tutorials to get up to speed fast. Most of the concepts are the same, but you will also see a lot of differences in what you can and cannot do.

Hi, I know Sonar and have just been asked to work in a studio with pro-tools, but i don't know pro-tools. are there any real must-knows that I should know before I jump at the offer?

Let's see when I switched over from Sonar to ProTools 2 years ago it took a good solid weekend to learn the basics. And it was a good week before I was ready to do my first paying session. If your going this route and are only trying to learn the product as already suggested I'd purchase a cheap Digi interface like the Mbox 2 Mini. This will give you a free copy of PT LE. Next I'd suggest signing up and taking the on-line tutorials at http://www.grooveboxmusic.com the best I've found on the web for Protools.

Oh and this was the correct place to ask your question not many Sonar users on the Protools forums.

I just wish I would have bought the CD/DVD's instead of just the month or two of access to the videos.

What I did was to go online for a month for that instant gratification and then ordered the cd/dvd's. Also to keep up with changes and learn new features/refresher course have once a year signed up for an additional month. They provide an excellent service never understood why they don't support Sonar.
